    Ok so I didn't empty the suitcases of toys yet but they are in the garage out of the way. And I haven't got to the wm filter yet. But everything else is done. I just have some laundry in off the line that wants sorting into what needs ironing, and what can be put away.
    Also need to sort pack up and nursery bags for tomorrow and wash my hair. Got an early start in the morning...

    Hi guys :wave:

    awww thanks everyone for the hugs and thoughts :kisses3: really felt that I needed them today, I've had a bubble bath now though and pulled myself together lol Save Dosh my poor rabbit was dead :(

    It's been a carp day :rotfl: tried to get into my first customers house this morning with the key but it wouldn't work, so left a note and went home. It dawns on me at 12.45 that I'd been using the wrong key.....like duuuuuuuuuuuuur! So re-arranged for tomorrow avo.

    Receipts NOT found, no clue where they are, WM and TD just finished for the day, floor mopped, some food shopping done, other bits and bats, calling it a day now.

    Piggers That's a bit of a worry with your DS3 x

    Natty Glad your OH and his team still have their jobs, it must be awful having that hanging over you x

    till tomorrow ladies :hello: x
